Amines with functional groups are widely used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and polymers but most of them are still prepared through petrochemical routes. The sustainable production of amines from renewable resources, such as biomass, is thus necessary. For this reason, we developed an eco-friendly, simplified, and highly effective procedure for the preparation of a non-toxic heterogeneous catalyst based on earth-abundant metals, whose catalytic activity on the reductive amination of furfural or other derivatives (more than 24 examples) proved to be broadly available. More surprisingly, the cobalt-supported catalyst was found to be magnetically recoverable and reusable up to eight times with an excellent catalytic activity; on the other hand, the gram-scale tests catalyzed by the same catalyst exhibited the similar yield of the target products in comparison to its smaller scale, which was comparable to the commercial noble-based catalysts. Further results from a series of analytical technologies involving XRD, XPS, TEM/mapping, and in situ FTIR revealed that the structural features of the catalyst are closely in relation to its catalytic mechanisms. In simple terms, the outer graphitic shell is activated by the electronic interaction as well as the induced charge redistribution, enabling the easy substitution of the –NH2 moiety toward functionalized and structurally diverse molecules, even under very mild industrially viable and scalable conditions. Overall, this newly developed catalyst introduces the synthesis of amines from biomass-derived platforms with satisfactory selectivity and carbon balance, providing cost-effective and sustainable access to the wide applications of reductive amination.

In this work, we present a novel method for the synthesis of ester and amide derivatives containing furan rings (furfural derivatives) under mild synthetic conditions supported by microwave radiation. N-(Furan-2-ylmethyl)furan-2-carboxamide and furan-2-ylmethyl furan-2-carboxylate were produced using 2-furoic acid, furfurylamine, and furfuryl alcohol. The reactions were carried out in a microwave reactor in the presence of effective coupling reagents: DMT/NMM/TsO? or EDC. The reaction time, the solvent, and the amounts of the substrates were optimized. After crystallization or flash chromatography, the final compounds were isolated with good or very good yields. Our method allows for the synthesis of N-blocked amides using N-blocked amino acids (Boc, Cbz, Fmoc) and amine. As well as compounds with a monoamide and ester moiety, products with diamides and diester bonds (N,N-bis(furan-2-ylmethyl) furan-2,5-dicarboxamide, bis(furan-2-ylmethyl) furan-2,5dicarboxylate, and furan-3,4-diylbis(methylene) bis(furan-2-carboxylate)) were synthesized with moderate yields in the presence of DMT/NMM/TsO– or EDC, using 2,5-furan-dicarboxylic acid and 3,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan as substrates.

This work includes an effective comparison of metallic ruthenium and nickel nanoparticles loaded on montmorillonite clay (MMT) for reductive amination reaction of biomass-derived molecules. It comprises an eco-friendly reaction using water as a solvent, utilizing molecular hydrogen and liquor ammonia (25% aq. solution) for the synthesis of primary amines from bio-derived aldehydes within 3–10 h of reaction time. Various parameters such as temperature, hydrogen pressure, substrate/ammonia concentration ratio, and reaction time were optimized while comparing the selectivity of primary amines for both catalysts. The applicability scope of these catalysts was explored with a library of aryl and heterocyclic aldehydes. The reductive amination of crude furfural extracted from biomass feedstock (rice husk) and pure xylose sugar was tested, showing yields in the range of 11–36%, to show the wider industrial scope of both nanocomposites. Gram scale conversion was also carried out to showcase the bulk scalability of the Ru/MMT catalyst.
